The darkness dazzles for a few seconds when one enters the house—actually, a den made of earth where air and light filter through the narrow entrance.

But the emails from Brian Fisher, an ant specialist at the California Academy of Sciences, in San Francisco, kept coming. Fisher had been doing fieldwork in Madagascar when he realized that the forests where both he and Hugel c...
